Roma Youth Conference 2011

In September 2011, as a follow-up to the Strasbourg Declaration, the Youth Department invited more than 60 Roma youth leaders to a conference in Strasbourg to discuss a ‘Roma youth action plan’.
The Conference was organised in close co-operation with European Roma youth networks and other stakeholders and was a response to the realisation that the concerns of young Roma were insufficiently addressed in policies concerning Roma.
The participants in the conference exchanged experiences and built upon previous results for a common identification of current challenges for Roma young people and priorities for European youth work and youth policy.
